Course Purpose

This course concentrates on the theory behind vibrations, their characteristics and how these characteristics are used to analyze problems in equipment. The course will begin with covering the theory and characteristics of vibration including frequency, amplitude, phase, data collection and signal processing. Following on from this will be discussion on the different types of instruments and transducers that are available and their associated high frequency detection methods such as gSE, ESP, HFD & Shock Pulse. The course will then outline a systematic approach to vibration analysis and how to analyze vibration spectra for different machinery problems. This will then be followed by setting up of different types of alarms for the detection of problems. The course will then cover the correction of balancing and alignment problems.

Who Should Attend

This course is intended for vibration analysts with six to nine month’s experience of data collection and who wish to expand their analytical and problem solving skills.
